html2text Version 0.001
=======================
Description
-----------
html2text.pl generates simple formatted text from HTML. It uses
HTML::Element to traverse an HTML tree built by HTML::TreeBuilder, and formats
the output text using Text::Format. It is _very_ simple at the moment. The
type of things it does are:
* Headings
All headings are underlined.

s are double underlined. Headings are
numbered, by using the heading levels, and previous heading levels.
* Paragraphs
Paragraph text is formatted with the paragraph method of Text::Format.
* Lists
List items are indented by 4 spaces, and preceded with an asterisk.
* Definition Lists

s are intented by 4 spaces;

s are indented by 8 spaces.
It doesn't do anything clever with frames, tables, fonts, etc. Images and links
are ignored.
